History
The Publyk House has been a destination restaurant and Bennington favorite for more than 35 years. Originally, the old horse barn stood a mile away on Rice Lane before it was moved to its existing location. Soon after, it opened as Publyk House restaurant in 1972 by a group of local investors who had purchased the old three-story horse barn. The partners renovated the old barn into a restaurant to again serve fine food to hungry travelers from Zechariah's hill. Serving traditional New England fare in a warm and inviting ambiance, the restaurant opened to rave reviews and remained a popular local haunt for locals. Years later as The Publyk House once again, the red barn still exudes that same warmth and character as before with barn board paneling and multiple fireplaces. Steven and Lauren Bryant are the current owners of this long time restaurant, as well as the innkeepers of the renowned Dorset Inn in Dorset, VT. With a nod toward the past yet with an eye on the future.
